Religious leaders have urged Kenyans to co-exist peacefully as we head to Christmas festivities.
The leaders who held a food crusade to feed over 2,000 children from informal settlement used the forum to serve as an example.
They further urged politicians to desist from fueling animosity between the various communities.
The event was held at Nakuru’s Metro church.
“I want Kenya to unite, I want Kenya to go back to god and kill tribalism, it is our enemy. I’m calling for peace, and we must have peace in Jesus’ name,” said one of the preachers.
Their call come at a time when the country is recovering from a grueling political period, which culminated in the swearing in of President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday.
However, the NASA coalition is not satisfied with the results, saying they will not recognize president Kenyatta’s win.
NASA leader Raila Odinga has consequently said the will swear himself in on 12th December, saying Kenyatta’s win was not fare.
Odinga pulled out of the presidential race in October, leaving president Kenyatta to clinch the seat with an overwhelming win.
